I lived through that as well.

The Norm years are long gone. The entire landscape of CBB is different now.

I don't watch any of it. Maybe a game or two in the tourney.

I get what you're saying though.

I care more about Mizzou men's basketball than football. I think that may be the case for those of use who were brought up on Woody/Stull in the fall and Norm in the winter.

I grew up in the midst of those years. Used to turn the Mizzou hoops game on the radio, grab a ball and pretend I was Stipo as I was shooting hoops re-enacting the game. There was a time I cared more about basketball. Unfortunately, that was decades ago and there has been a huge chunk of kids growing up, not knowing Mizzou hoops was competitive at one time.

quote:
For almost two decades you chewed through the gristle of the football season before actually enjoying Mizzou sports. Those were my formative years, so my affection for Tiger basketball runs deeper.

Which is one of the reasons it pains me so much to see so many accepting of such low standards when it comes to expectations with the current program.
